I’ve heard MAGA types complain that criminal prosecutions of DJT are “unjust” or illegitimate. This isn’t true, and here are three reasons why, that many people overlook or simply take for granted: 🧵

@BJLRN @MacFarlaneNews Actually a strong presentation about a defendant (including a letter) can have significant favorable influence with a judge imposing sentence. But this is not a good letter. This is a terrible letter. And I don’t see a court reacting well to it.

DJT is fond of crying he is being treated unfairly. Nonsense. He is treated more indulgently than any client I have ever represented. Keep these points in mind when someone claims his prosecution is”rigged” or “illegitimate.”

3. DJT has access to lawyers. Some (think A. Habba) have limited legal talent or ability. Others have considerable skill. But DJT was able to choose them all. This is a hallmark of due process and the constitutional guarantee to counsel by the Sixth Amendment.

And DJT’s lawyers have flooded the courts with motions. Many of them are frivolous and repetitive. But he can still file them and appeal adverse rulings. Next week the Supreme Court will consider his ridiculous immunity claim. This reinforces my point.
